more photos of zinc paste repairs my R4

Procedure is time consuming but still faster and easier than welding wry thin plates.

Am I right in saying you are simply filling holes with this stuff? If so I'm not sure it's the right thing to do. You really can't beat welding in new metal repair sections to put back strength in the body. Don't think I fancy my chances of surviving a crash in a 4L repaired with what is really filler. The MOT man at my local garage wouldn't like it either. I very much hope you are winding us up.:D
 
i 3rd this, since it looks like as must hassle as welding =/
